I've never seen a "re-check out" of the workspace which was not the result of some condition which I could reasonably explain. Some of the cases I've seen where a new build is started have included:
- scheduled build with the "clean workspace" setting enabled in the SCM plugin
- new change on the source control system which a source
control poll detected
- slave which hosted the last build has disconnected from the master
There are probably other cases as well. Is there a pattern that you're observing in your re-check out of the workspace related to any of those?

Subject: Does jenkins periodically re check out the workspace
This is a behavior that we are seeing.
Is this standard?
Is there a regularity to it?
